The US Senate approved a modified version of President Trump's spending bill, which allocates $40 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the National Garden of American Heroes. This project aims to honor American patriots and is slated for completion in time for the 250th anniversary of the US. The House of Representatives must now confirm the bill before it reaches Trump's desk, with a deadline set for July 4. Trump is attempting to redirect NEH and NEA funding toward this project, despite plans to eliminate both agencies.
The new bill contains a provision allocating $40 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities' budget for the National Garden of American Heroes, a project prioritizing American patriotism.
Trump aims to have the National Garden of American Heroes completed by next year, coinciding with America's 250th anniversary, featuring 250 statues of notable American figures.
Despite efforts to cut funding for the NEH and NEA, Trump continues to redirect their resources toward his vision of a patriotic sculpture park, seeking $34 million in total from both agencies.
The approval of the modified bill awaits a final vote from the House of Representatives, with a deadline set by Trump for passage by July 4.
